Comment 27 for bug 733349

I'm the original reporter for this bug/request report and I still believe (after I've read all the above comments) that minimizing upon clicking the launcher's icon would make sense, be great and would not be disruptive in any workflow I can imagine.

That being said, I had a chance to play with a Mac in the last days and clicking on the the dock/launcher app. doesn't seem to trigger windows/apps minimizing (maybe it's just the particular configuration of the Mac I've tried....?). My point here is not to suggest that OSx is THE reference for UI design's decision, far from it, but just to point point out that there is no absolute truth about the current issue.

I suppose that, at some point, good design/conception decisions could be based on the average user's expectations, for a given platform/OS/UI/etc., at a given time...
